Limited States excerpt

World Premiere: American Dance Festival Concept, Choreography, Video and Animation Design: Shen Wei Original Score: Daniel Burke Lighting: Shen Wei and Matthew F. Lewandowski II Costume: Shen Wei and Austin Scarlett “Plainly Shen Wei is a sculptor of body moves, and just as plainly he likes his bodies to be visible in every detail. His costumes (created with Austin Scarlett) are as close to nudity as costumes can be. The suppleness, subtlety and strength of every dancer thus exposed is impressive ... ’Limited States’ may be almost purely abstract, but it’s invigoratingly organic in the way it focuses, veers, intensifies and subsides.“ - Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times
